If that was meant for me, then so be it. Why clog these threads with obvious questions and answers. Just like, the typical, should I wipe before I install or can't I flash so and so on top of so and so. It's always the same answer and these threads get ridiculously long when trying to keep up and muddle thru the same posts. He could have easily changed the density for himself and fixed his own problem. Or at least proven it for himself. Teaching others how to deal with their OWN CREATED ISSUES is NOT smartass. Comments like yours....well....:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

I basically assumed you had seen this issue reported on all the other roms since it's such an obscure issue which causes the not showing in market. I'm not trying to just offer smartass comments as the other user had wrongly inferred. I've been around the block here long enough and helped enough users over the course of time. Since you appeared to be US based, I didn't feel it had to do with it being a region /market associated issue. Anyways, did changing the dpi help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
I DID change the density for myself. But maps didn't become visible until I cleared the data and cache for the market app, and wipe the cache and dalvik. I was also thrown off by android market saying my device was the "HTC Samsung T989". And how would it be 'obvious' that my dpi was the problem when other google apps were showing up in the market? Perhaps you shouldn't make assumptions.

And yes, that worked. It's just strange that the requirements for maps are different than their other apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ashtear:
Same thing's happening to me. I started playing around with the sound settings, and sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. It's odd.

It's like CM7 lowers the music to play the notification, but then doesn't bring the volume back up, it gets stuck until you change the volume. If the volume was at max you have to lower it, not just press any volume key, it actually has to change the volume. You can actually hear the music at a -very low- volume at the bottom after the notification. Changing the volume snaps it back to where it's supposed to be.

ANy ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] btyork:
Another fix for this is to search XDA for "OldMarket.apk" - It reverts you back to the old market, which had no restrictions on DPI and the such... Then you can just revert back to the new market (rather than messing with the build.prop)

or you can do like I do and just stay on the old market.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
I don't mind doing it, the only app that I couldn't get was maps. So I'm in good shape.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
You can go to cyanogenmod settings/sound and scroll down to always play on speaker and select the corresponding box and I believe that will handle it although you won't technically "hear" your notifications. If I remember right that's what we do on sensation.

I'm enjoying this build. No real issues. Full HD recording working flawlessly. I was wondering. If.that would be an issue since sensation had issues (yes I realize they are.completely different devices and manufacturer etc.) Great work slayher and Sammy for finding the fix.

I had already tried that. The music volume drop gets stuck anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RayG210:
I'm not an android developer either and correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding CM9 would be based on the ICS sources so any work done on CM7 (which is based on Gingerbread) won't help much in porting CM9 to our device as they're two completely different versions.

my screen keeps adjusting the brightness by how much white is on the screen.....can anyone help me take this setting off.....it annoying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You need to have base. Ics has a source but you couldn"t just compile and make things work. This is for all oses. Also there not two diffrent complete versions. Windows has a base so does linux. You would basically be creating everything from scratch with out a base. Think of it as a software upgrade from pre existing software. Nothing gets wipe clean. They remove insufficent code. Add new code which is better and more optimized than the previous code but base code is still there.

Is anyone else having issues with multi touch on Swype (beta)? While typing with both hands the keyboard thinks I'm Swyping some of the time and starts going nuts. Also, sometimes when scrolling it hangs and I get the overscroll glow before I reach the end of the scrolling list. More of an annoyance, but it's bearable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raycaster3:
I'm about to go to the gym and I do a lot of texting and music listening in there, so I'll see if there's anything I can think of/find out about it. Probably not though. Did you by chance reboot after you selected those settings? I know it doesn't say you need to, but maybe that'll do something anyhow. You know how finicky devices can be. :D

UPDATE: no matter what I try I still Have to either hit vol up or down or pause after receiving a notification to regain full vol. Solution= put my phone in vibrate only. Lol not really a fix but I don't have to keep messing with my phone while listening to music and txtng although I'm always messing with it anyhow. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ashtear:
I think our problem right now is that we don't have functional stable hardware drivers on which to mount the OS. That's why usually development on a new device starts by modifying the stock ROM. Once hardware drivers are reverse engineered or sources found or written, then you can develop the device template, on top of which you then put the High-level Android code.

All the different devices CM supports, those are the specific device templates. Core changes to CM are then built on top of the templates to produce the device-specific CM builds.

Or at least this is how I understand it. Any corrections on my misconceptions are welcome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You have it correct. Cm team would still have to merge the drivers with thier source of course and the new ics source. He thinks that gingerbread and ics are totally diffrent. Which it is yes they are and no their not. On the top it is. But underneath there still some use of gingerbread, froyo, eclair etc.

how's everyone's battery life with the rom so far? Mine has been pretty bad, I had it fully charged at night, took out the charger and i woke up in the morning to about 76% left. Says 54% used from Android OS =O Might switch back to another rom until we get a kernel or somethin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
I got this on stock as well sometimes. I think it's just a bug in Google's overscroll glow.

You need to copy the titanium back ups from the internal sd to external sd. There is a place in the cm settings to turn on internal sd but ive heard that may cause problems.

Any devs in this forum, did you guys happen to find a software fix for the poor screen calibration? I'm holding out hope that it's software but I'm starting to get the feeling it's just hardware ...which would really suck:(

To help with battery drain and maybe flickering:

1. Settings, CyanogenMod Settings, Display, Automatic Backlight

2. Uncheck Enabled

3. Check Use Custom

4. Select Edit other levels...

5. Enter 30, 50, 70, 90, 150 in the Screen values

6. Select Save & apply

This will give you a darker screen. If you want it a little brighter, increase the 30 to what you like and the increments by what you like. The higher you go, the brighter the display and the higher the drain. Helped on mine quite a bit. Also, make sure your screen timeout is set to like 1 minute. I think it defaults to 10 minutes when you install the rom. Be sure bluetooth and gps is off as well, of course.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itzsmokey:
is that the reason why when something with a white background pops up on the screen, the screen brightness goes down

It is still the obvious issue if you happen to google/search here on XDA every ROM posted here on the TMobile threads and the dpi issue was the proven cause in "practically" every case for market apps NOT showing up. This is why I posted exactly what I intended and feel there was no false assumptions, basically because it was YOUR statement/question about DPI density, and this problem has come up way to often.

http://tiny.cc/mkyji

Above is a simple search link from XDA. Just look at all the pointers to LCD density and market apps missing. I rest my case. Not going to beat this to death anymore. I posted what I thought would help. Sorry if you or the other user didn't care for the way I phrased my reply, but since I have basically been around for EVERY ROM posted since day one here for our TMobile version based Galaxy S2, I felt my post was stated in a manner to have users try to help themselves when possible. Been around here too long to get into some fret over feelings. If I offended you, then I'm sorry. But would I change the way I posted, I don't think so. If more users would help themselves with searching issues, it would be a vast help for the community at large.

Have a good day in any case and happy it's sorted out for you.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

But also make sure you kill the market updater app from running or it will auto update. I know you probably know this. I'm stating this for others that want to use the older market apk's floating around, but don't understand why it doesn't stick for them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itzsmokey:
i know in the stock rom there is an option to have your screen adjust to the lighting on it....and now everything thats white on the screen make the screen dim down

A suggestion if you are having multiple duplicate contacts issues:

I was having issues with my contacts, multiple duplicates, apps not displaying contact pictures, issues with Vlingo, etc. because T-Mobile uses so many contact sources (Google, SIM card, T-Mo Backup, and the phone itself). I found that if I delete my contacts from the SIM card using SIM Contacts (Needom Studio) and used Go Contacts to merge the remaining contacts, it fixed this issue. Might want to export your contacts first to have a back up.

Never had the audio bug even on #1 (even after a few days of use).

I did a clean install of #2 and still no audio issues. Netflix now working, camera working 100% including HD video record/playback, photo gallery was never an issue, just sent an MMS and it went through perfectly, GPS locks faster than Stock TW in my opinion. I am 100% happy and will stay on this ROM as it blossoms into a stable version officially. To me, it's as stable as I need it to be for now. Loving it!!!

Did you flash in this order via CWR?

Wipe User Data/Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Flash ROM

Install GApps (optional)

Wipe Davlik Cache

Fix Permissions

Let it sit for 10 minutes without touching anything

I do this on every ROM I flash and it seems to keep everything clean.

I just can't understand why some people are getting these bugs, and some aren't. We all have the same damn phones right??? I just want everyone to enjoy this like I do!!! Good luck friend, hope your bugs go away. :D

Well other user are getting better battery life than me it might be an app. Bad flash bad download etc. Can't be sure on it. The easiest thing to do check md5 sums and redownload the rom flash it again. The kernel is probably fine. Btw Clockwork has a problem sometimes it doesn't wipe correctly so i would

Mount/data

Mount/cache

Mount/system

Wipe /data

Wipe/cache

Wipe/system

Then wipe/data factory reset

Wipe Dalvik cache

Flash rom then flash gapps

Let it boot up then wait ten minutes or so.

Sign in gmail account then reboot.

This way makes for the least problems in the rom. Unless their are already bugs in it.
